Lovely tasting soup & easy to make. Added red lentils the first I made it and butterbeans the next time. A firm favourite.

So delicious! I added a cup of red split lentils after reading over reviews. I will definitely be making this again, and again!

My new favourite soup. So full of flavour it will become my go to soup. It’s comforting and creamy. I used frozen butternut squash and topped it up with carrots. I didn’t have lemon grass but it was still delicious. Virtual Dr Rupy suggested adding 100g red lentils to increase the protein value too. Thank you for this recipe.

Loved it. I added approx 1 cup red lentils for extra protein, increased the stock a bit to allow for them & simmered a bit longer. Delicious.

Love this recipe - it's a keeper!!! So easy to prep and cook. I made it 24 hours in advance then left unblended in the fridge overnight to let the flavours develop even more. Removed the lemongrass, reheated and then blended just before serving the following evening. The flavour was amazing!! Light enough to serve as a starter for a dinner party too

OMG - so delicious and easy! I didn’t have enough squash so substituted sweet potato, it worked fine. I’ll make it regularly!

This is a great soup! We add pearl barley to it instead of having bread with it.
